Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus (severe acute respiratory
syndrome-coronavirus 2, SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly spread around the world resulting
in an acute respiratory illness pandemic. The majority of patients presents with
mild symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, about 5% become
critically ill and require intensive care treatment. Acute hypoxemic failure with
severe dyspnea and an increased respiratory rate (>30/min) usually leads to ICU
admission. At that point, bilateral pulmonary infiltrates are typically seen.
Patients often develop a severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). To
date there is no specific treatment available-the main goal of supportive therapy
is to ascertain adequate oxygenation. Early intubation and repeated prone
positioning are key elements in treating hypoxemic COVID-19 patients. Strict
adherence to basic infection control measures (including hand hygiene) and use of
personal protection equipment (PPE) are essential in the care of patients.
Procedures that lead to formation of aerosols should be avoided where possible
and carried out with utmost precaution.
